i realised there's something wrong with me.
1) i peel my nails when i'm nervous.
i mean i peel my nails ALL THE TIME. and i've been peeling for as long as i can remember, usually when i'm bored or to keep myself preoccupied while waiting. but on tuesday night, the day before the big exam day - econs + maths paper, i got so kan cheong and frustrated cos there's just so much to LEARN and so little time that i started peeling subconsciously and rather uncontrollably. now my nails are so short that i'll have nothing to do when i'm bored. :\
2) my stomach can growl real loud.
especially in the pin-drop silent exam hall. this new found discovery was only made during this exams week. and for every paper that i sat for, my stomach would growl so loud that the person sitting 1 table away from me could hear. :P haha. quite embarrassing actually. and it was horrendous. i remembered eating a sandwich in the morning at 4am when i woke up extra early to study for econs. and during morning assembly just before i entered the hall, i finished another sandwich so that my stomach would stay quiet during the 2h 45 mins econs paper. but it was freaking scary that it acted up after the second hour!
HOW FREAKY IS THAT??
maybe i have some super powers that's morphing up. :D
i'm enjoying a prelude to post-a'levels life right now.
after my last paper on thursday, i got home and superglued myself to the sofa; watched 3 episodes of 'ugly betty', 2 episodes of 'switched' and read 'the tenth circle', went out for dinner at fish & co, got home again, bathed, got superglued again and watched yet another episode of 'switched' and 1 episode of 'lost 3'.
it was truly the life.
and that was just the tip of the iceberg. :P
i'm gonna get fat after the a'levels. :S
and today, i watched nancy drew with fanny and shi min.
some interesting info:
nancy drew owns an ipod video with an additional voice recording device,
a mac book,
and a nokia swivle phone (forgot the name of the series).
emma roberts is only 16.
oh yeah she's pretty too. =)
we took neoprints together!
and again, i can't upload it. argh.
i missed typing on my own laptop. errors were scarce.

i wanna update photos. the neoprints taken with my dancemates. but my laptop was attacked by a vicious virus and there is a high chance that ALL my thousand plus songs and photos will be gone!!! argh!!! stupid bugger.
to everyone: please create a backup if you haven't already done so and don't risk losing a lifetime of effort (collecting songs) and memories (of photographs) forever.
youth chalet on wed was really a time of slacking and 'gallivanting'. haha. arrived at 7+pm, playing cards till 10pm, pooling till 1230am and mahjong-ing till 3am. especially when i'm having my literature exam the day after tomorrow, my sleeping cycle had seriously gone haywire.
the study session yesterday was a killer. went to meet shi min after my lit paper and i guess it was the fatigue that i couldn't concentrate at all.
i tried to get some sleep last night. at 1230am and i think for one hour i felt like i was teetering between the conscious and the sub-conscious. much as my brain was tired i couldn't sleep. but i woke up this morning feeling like i had the best sleep in the longest time. :)
its friday. and impossible to finish studying for the exams. i did try hard though the pressure wasn't as great compared to promos last year when my second year of jc life depended on it.

it isn't about the discpline anymore.
it's about how fast i can take in the info.
and its extremely sloooooooowwwwwwwwww.....
i don't know how i'm going to sit for the exam in less than 2 weeks time.
i've been studying for 4 consecutive days with shi min, sitting there for 9 hours straight and everyday i feel so depressed because i have no life at all. maybe my suffering will be alleviated if a sense of satisfaction is derived from the productivity of it all but apparently its not. :\
if time could turn back by one year and 3 months, i would do things differently. sorry.

i cut my hair today.
and i got a shock of my life because its nothing like i'd ever sported before.
but people said it looks nice, just that they need time to adjust.
haha. but i think i'm getting used to my new look so it's not so bad now la.
anyway, HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY TO DING YI!
i tried uploading the photos we took together at nydc, celebrating dingyi's birthday just now but couldn't. oh wells. its getting late anyways so i should be sleeping now. good night! :)

time for some photo blogging!
on 30th may, the day before reverie III, which is also our day of rest and recharge, the 4 of us went out shopping! haha. but with the intention of shopping for mengie's present. and we took neoprints!
but we weren't satisfied with just that. we went inside this faulty neoprint machine to make use of their backgrounds for our own economic photo-takings. hehe.
our first failed attempt of using fanny's self-timer handphone camera. she had to cut her own and kee's face up.
on our second attempt, it wasn't so bad after all. :)
photos taken on reverie day!
this partial profile of shi min just cracks me up! hahaha.
kee and me!
okay now here's proper photo of shi min. :P
photo actually taken on syf day, 24th april.
the un-made up us, before the full dress rehearsals.
the "ballet-dancers-trying-to-do-hip-hop" dancers. or so, as miss wee called us. :\
we were the rich gangsters in U d N a I n T c E e S. haha.
no more gangsters. now we're trying to act cute and be normal. haha.
i love my nerdies for being there to support me! =)
fanny and sylvia. :)
reverie III: dancer in my heart.
p.s: gotta cut my hair soon! goodbye long hair. *weeps* hello new look! *jumps around happily*

had a great 18th birthday and the last performance of the tjc modern dance club 2006/2007.
thanks to my wonderful dancemates: marlene twinnie, shi min sashimi, cheryl hello kitty, keeyann the kiwi, mengmeng ai, yan hing and fanny fan-tastic, for the 6 eggtarts, top, jodi picoult's novel and the little mermaid file.
to xinhui, aprie, vanessa, peiqi, ting ting, for the trinklets and flowers and to claudia, for the birthday puffs.
to the dancers, thank you for the cake and the birthday song in the morning. it feels great to finally find someone with the same birthday as me, especially when the person is the teacher in charge of dance club. haha.
to the sacc youths, thank you all for being there to watch and support me as i gave off the fruits of my labour on the stage.
to ethelyn, my pal of 6 years, thanks for the great time today. i had fun hanging out with you, chatting (or rather, gossipping :P), the dinner, shopping and movie, everything! brings me back to the times when we were amateur nerds in cedar. hahaha. may we be great big-time nerds in the next 5 months to come (ohmygosh! 5 months left till the a'levels!! :S)
and lastly, thanks to everyone who'd sent me birthday wishes. you made my day! =)
syf is over. reverie III has finally ended. behind the scenes of all the music, the dances, the glitters of the night, the cheering and the applauses, were the hardwork of each and every dancers and instructors. there were just so much so much effort put into it that i could not even begin to say. all the gruelling hours of dance practices, the night just made it all worthwhile. not merely because of the glamour and applauses (i would be lying to say those had nothing to do with our efforts) but rather, a mark of the end of our journey as dancers of the tjc modern dance club, the amazing 2 year journey we've had, the love that we shared for dancing. in fact, i think it has been less than 2 years, but it really felt like a long time. simply because i'd learnt so much, under the guidance of our dance instructors, and the process in finding strength from all the difficulties that we had to face. i feel that i have emerged stronger than before, with a greater passion for dance that i ever had. and through this period of time, the experience is truly indescribable, the friendships and bonds created by the shared passion for dance is built to last a lifetime.
and now, another challenge lurks ahead. the transition from full-time dancing to full-time studying is most tough and gruelling. but the same strength and drive that propelled me to push forward for dance will most definitely help this time. and the same goes for the rest of the dancers! jiayou! =)
